WILLIAMSON, Sept. 10, 1887.
Mr.. EDITOR: As your paper is alive to
the educational interest of the County, it
may interest you to know of the efforts
being made here for the education of the
young men and boys of this community.
The Williamson Male High School Com
pany have now under contract handsome
new building, situated in beautiful
grove of oaks. The house is 30 by SIS feet
with wing 20 by 80 feet, and has cloak
and hat room, a library room, and room
for school apparatus. 1t will be fitted up
with modern school desks and seats of i'm j.
proved design, and the windows are large,
and placed at such parts of the house as
will best suit for giving light and ventila-
ton to the pupils. The services of Prof l..
s. McSwain, A. NJ. has been secured as
Principal, and he will open the school on
the 3rd of October, under bright prospects.
The tuition charges have been fixed at
two, three and four dollars per month, thus
putting it within the reach of all. Board
can be had OF reasonable rates i'll good FAM
lilies. If the number of students require it,,
Prof. Mcswain will employ an assistant.
Prof. McSwain comes to US with excellent
testimonials from institutions where he
has taught in this State, Georgia and Texas.
He is especially recommended for his pro-
ficiency in Mathematics, being gifted with
rare talent in imparting knowledge in
this important branch. Ample grounds
surround the Academy for campus, and
it proposes to erect swings and gymnasi-
ums for exercise md amusement of the
boys. A special Act Of the Legislature
prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquors
within two miles, and when this fact is
considered, together with the healthful-
ness of our town, (the Calybeate Springs
being near the Academy and its quiet
ness, it makes Williamson desirable
place for such school.
The Board of Directors are to be con-
suited in all important matters connected
with the school, thus becoming our advi-

been u We

Tho Damocra,ic convention has been
called for Tuesday next, May 3lst, fourteen
days prior TO election day, June l4th, Inc
town caucuses will be held to-day in the
towns of the county. Democrats should
make a special effort TO attend their eau
cuses in order that full set of delegates
shall be present at the convention, ana tha'
those delegates shall voice the sentiments
of the voters of La Sale county.
The object Of this convention is TO nom.
inate Democratic candidate for County
Treasurer who will he elected TO that Of
flee by the people. This Is the whole OBJ
iect of the convention, The man who can
be elected by the Democrats Is n man win
clean hands, who can himself perform the
duties of the office, and who viii have the
confidence OF all the people OF the county
The candidates who will be presented to
the convention are Mr.. John Mckeon and
Mr.. Matthew White, between whom the
main contest will be. In case compro
mise man should be necessary, we are in
formed by the best of authority that Mr.
Charles l.. Hoffman, most excellent man
in every respect, would accept nomina'
ton if rendered.
1t is absolutely necessary TO success that
the convention be entirely harmonious,
We believe 1t will be. The canvass thus
far on both sides has been carried on in
very dignifed manner, the only semblance
Of bad temper being that manifested by
the independent" organs, who, as usual,
though not of the party, are making their
perennial effort to create illwi!l within the
party. Democrats should remember that
the Independent organs are republican al.
ways, and should pay no attention TO their

ton and after II, with the purpose of nom
mating candidate and electing him, and
not permit themselves 10 be swerved from
this purpose by contortions of the indie

will give such assistance as they can 70 the
republican candidate; nor should repub-
icgn comments on the candidates be per
nitted to warp the judgment of the dele

TARIFF REFORM.

EDITOR FREE TRADER: In my last
communication | showed by reference to
our Consular Report that though in our
great protected industries we pay no higher
wages than are paid in England, that, new
ertheless, in the general manufacturing in
dus,ries, we pay about % per cent higher
here than there, But my purpose is to
show that in all the industries our labor is
the cheapest, that It yields more product to
the dollar paid than the labor of any other
country, and, therefore, if not saddled by
protection, could compete In any open
market with any labor of earth. And 10
this end the testimony of Mr.. Secretary
Blaine, quoted in my last article, that each
American operative works up as much ma
terial as two English operatives, turns 81 90
worth of manufactures to the British oper-
ative's one dollars WORTH is significantly
in point, and is sustained and emphasized
by all authorities. The celebrated card
issued by the Republican National Com
mittee in the campaign of 1880 gave the
wages in the general trades Of Germany at
80 cts per day, in England at $l.15, and in
New York City at $203 per day. The
German operative works up 1850 pounds
of cotton per annum; the English, 1914
the American, 1850 pounds. Which is
oh ~ tho ipJrSfrr Tho (,pr
man works up 1000 pounds of wool; the
English, 1875 the American, 1910 pounds;
the German, 50 pounds of silk; the Eng
lish, II, and the American 81 pounds
Which is the cheapest Mind you, the
wages in New York City are over so pei
cent higher than in the surrounding coun
try; and If high priced labor should be
protected against low priced, then II is even
mere necessary to protect New York labor
against Connecticut and New Jersey thar
to protect ii against the European "pauper.'
Product determines wages. The brick
maker in Europe makes 500 bricks pei
day; here he makes 1000. There the hoo
carrier carries eight brick, here ID. Wher

of pocket at the end of the session and has
given his services 10 the state at u pecunl
airy sacrifice.
The reform that Is needed Is 10 so ar
range the pay of our Legislators that II shall
be both liberal and yet greatly shorten the
term of their service. II j. not the per
diea of the members, but the length Of the
sessions, that makes the cost Of our legs
latures so heavy The expensive items are
for stationery light fuel, clerks, doorkeep
ers, janitors, pages, printing, etc, etc All
these would be vastly diminished by short
ening the sessions, And the way TO shorten
the sessions Is 10 pay the members yearly
salary instead of a per- diem. Say $500 Tor
every alternate year, and 5000 or $500 Tor
other wears when there Is an extra session.
Under the old constitution, when all sorts
of special and private Legislation was nd
missable, and the Legislature did double
the work 1t does now, though the sessions
were limited TO AZ days the members never
failed TO do up all their work before them
quite as completely and satisfactorily as 1t
Is now done in $50 days, and at a tenth the
cost. With salary-sO that the fewer
days they work the better would be the pay
we have no uoubt the sessions can be
greatly cut down In length, not perhaps TO
AZ days, as Of old, but to 100 or l2j Gays at
the utmost, and the expense to less than
